Newly Released Photos of Amber Heard and Reports From Her Friends Detail Another Alleged 'Violent' Incident wi
New reports surfaced on Wednesday morning of another alleged assault on Amber Heard by her estranged husband Johnny Depp.
Nearly a week after the 30-year-old actress was granted a temporary restraining order against Depp and showed up to court with a bruised face, new images of Heard were published by People magazine that reveal a mark on her eye and a cut lip allegedly caused by a December 2015 incident.
In a shocking allegation to the New York Post, Heard's friend says she feared for the star after Depp allegedly tried to smother his wife with a pillow during a drunken altercation, noted to also be in December. The woman claims Heard texted her, and she found the actress battered and bruised when she arrived to the couple's Los Angeles home.
"I got to her apartment to find her with a cut and bruised lip, a swollen eye and a chunk of hair missing from the top of her head," the friend recalled to Page Six. "This incident really stuck with me because she confided in me that day that she feared for her life after an intoxicated Johnny tried to suffocate her with a pillow."

Depp is currently on tour in Europe with his band, Hollywood Vampires, and during that time a number of his friends and family, including daughter Lily-Rose and her mother, Depp’s long-time partner Vanessa Paradis, have come forward to say that he never exhibited any abusive behavior towards them.
In Heard's court filing for the restraining order, she claims that "there was one severe incident in December 2015 when I truly feared for my life." Heard also says that during the "entirety" of their relationship, Depp had been "verbally and physically abusive" to her.
